Description

- Search for and save a place, such as a restaurant or business. Place Book will try to find links to Yelp, Foursquare, and Google+ for reviews, tips, check-ins, street view, etc.

- Allows you to create your own custom lists (ex: "Restaurants", "Things to do in my city", etc).

- Add your own custom places by holding your finger down on the map for a couple seconds.

- Uber and Lyft drivers have used this app to save then easily navigate to commonly visited parts of town.

- Optionally backup your places to our secure servers then copy those places to any device with Place Book installed whenever you need them again (simple registration required).

Notes: - The app uses Google Maps and Google Places data when searching for places.- You can turn off Yelp and/or Foursquare access in the Menu -> Preferences screen. This may be especially useful to an international audience where Yelp or Foursquare is not present. - If you want to link to a different Navigation app than Google Navigation (example: Waze), go to Menu -> Preferences -> Direction Options.- If you have issues with the app, please email me or go to my website and let me know. I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Google Play reviews now use Google+ so it's easier to see opinions from people you care about. New reviews will be publicly linked to your Google+ profile. Your name on previous reviews now appears as "A Google User".

I love it, but sadly..... I just updated to the latest IOS on my Galaxy Note 3 and it doesn't work now. I went to see the app and it says it's compatible with androids under 5.0. This is most unfortunate since I updated the IOS to 5.0. Hopefully Circuit breakers can update the app so 5.0 android users can use it. I would give 5 stars, and I still will. But I'd love to use it again.

Excellent This is the best ever! I use it every time I need to go somewhere where I don't know the area well. A moron could use it! ! Thanks to whoever the people are who shared this application with me.

Hi, thanks for the great 5-star review and your patience. The app now supports Lollipop and the new version of Google Maps, new Google Place API, and Yelp API v2. Lots of mostly technical upgrades. The app still does what it used to do.

Excellent App This is by far the best app of it's type. Storing locations and getting directions is so easy. This app truely mocks googles clumsiness in handling locations. Had an issue restoring backups to our Galaxy S3s but after filing a bug report the developer fixed it within a few days. High praises from us. Highly recommend this app.

Nice interface!! This app has some nice features and its easy to get around (pun intended) in it. Nice integration with yelp and foursquare. And the way it jumps to navigation is cool. Worthwhile download.

Great App. Exactly what I was looking for! Much better for organizing addresses than My Places within Maps. Love the ability to create lists and map all list locations at once. Ads are limited and non-intrusive, but I would gladly pay for an ad-free version!

Couldn't find restaurant by address, even though yelp had it. Entered address, and couldn't find restaurant name. Nice idea for an app though. Would love it if it had a place to add photo, description, or reason why I wanted to try a restaurant.

Hi Bryan,
The app uses Google Places data for all search results. So most likely the app didn't have a fix on your current location and/or Google Places doesn't have that restaurant indexed. Give it another shot for a different restaurant if you want. You can add your own description of any saved place. Adding photos is a good idea.

Saves me two taps! I usually use both Yelp and Google Places to find what's worthwhile and this app aggregates both in a non-fussy interface.

Hi Roger, sorry to hear that you weren't satisfied with the app. If you have any feedback that can make your experience better and bring you back for a second try, let me know at circuit_breaker716@yahoo.com. Thanks!
